Stephens & Kenau Builds Fine Model Ships

The art of building model ships is not acquired quickly; instead, it is handed down through generations by people who are passionate about recreating the grand old ladies of the oceans. The professionals at Stephens & Kenau™ do not build model ships because they do not have anything else to do – they are historians, teachers, carpenters and accountants who happen to have a passion for model shipbuilding. This makes them infinitely more valuable to us, because their passion is reflected in the quality of their work. And although our models come with a money-back guarantee, no one has ever returned a ship.

We can build any ship you want and our plans are scalable to produce a ship of any size. We make our own parts, because the parts that come in model ship kits are usually inaccurately made and out of scale. Our ships have to conform to the highest possible build standard to ensure that they endure and maintain their flawless appearance, whether they are on display in the humid tropics or in a dry, desert region. The bulkhead ribs are very sturdy and the hull and decking are built plank by plank.

Copper plating on the hull beneath the water line is done with thousands of little copper plates, painstakingly treated for a tarnished appearance. In terms of paintwork, you have three options. We can paint the ship in the original colours or simply varnish it for a natural appearance. Lastly, we can finish it with a weathered appearance of a well-used ship in its workaday.
